While previous research has shown that coffee is associated with a decreased risk for type 2 diabetes, a newly published study shows that changes to coffee consumption can have an impact on this association. Using data from 1,663,319 participants in the Nurses’ Health Study I and II and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, individuals who increased their consumption of coffee by >1 cup a day over a 4 year period had an 11% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, compared to those who did not change their coffee consumption habits.
